Wiki Step By Step Tutorial -- in case you are looking for tips on how to do things...

We want our Social Studies lessons to be....

an introduction to understanding why America became a destination
a look into the lives of people of the past
a comparison of yesterday and today
contributing factors that influenced characters development

So we will make sure to design curriculum that is...

from multiple viewpoints
looks at the hardships and triumphs of immigration
designed to explain major events that took place

Key changes...from Ashlie! (Would these changes be added to another page?) Should I delete these or put them somewhere else?? Ashlie Yes, I think so -- and I think we need more in our lists above. Anyone have any other hopes and dreams for their Social Studies content?Siri
